Free Things to Do in Ottawa: Take a tour of the Parliament Buildings

Ottawa is fortunate to be home to some of the most beautiful parliament buildings in the world—and they’re free to visit.

Few Canadian symbols are as well known as the Parliament Buildings. Flanked by the East and West Blocks, the Centre Block of Parliament—with its distinctive Peace Tower and Library—is familiar to Canadians and people around the world. Although the buildings are alive with the drama of modern-day debates, the echoes of times and personalities long since past still linger here.

One great way to save on local fun things to do in Ottawa is to check Groupon for money savings deals that features local discounts in 150 cities. Visit the Ottawa Groupon page and you’ll find savings of anywhere from 40-90% on attractions, tours, boat cruises, theatre tickets, dinner spots and accommodations. The Groupon Ottawa page is a smart place to check out when you’re first planning your trip and even when you’re in the middle of your Ottawa visit because new deals get added weekly and even daily many times.
